In Grammar School Some Of The Girls

I'd Rather Be Alone Than Unhappy

I Finally Faced The Fact That It Isn't A Crime Not Having Friends. Being Alone Means You Have Fewer Problems.

Being Around People Like Aretha Franklin And Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick And Roberta Flack, All These Greats, I Was Taught To Listen And Observe.

My Mother Was The First Singer I Had Contact With. She Sang Constantly To Us Around The House, In Church.

I Feel So Blessed To Just Have Done What I Had Done. To Be Able To Just Use What God Has Given Me Is A Blessing. You Know, Never Mind The Grammys, Never Mind The Records, Never Mind All Of That. Just To Be Able To Sing.
